All About Face

Welcome back to our third week. Here is my final product for last week:



First, please take time and paint the background to your journal first with watercolor or ink as you please. This week, you will learn the basic way of drawing a face. However, for our prompt, this is the face of your superhero/superself.

The book I am referencing is a book about make-up. It’s not the best for basic face drawing, but it has a lot of good examples. https://www.amazon.com/Making-Rex-Diana-Lewis-Jewell/dp/0517569558/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1476741955&sr=1-1&keywords=making+up+by+rex

Watch this video on how to draw the basic face:

Then write today’s Prompt:
Write what your superhero can and can't do. What are her superpowers to help with everyday lives?  People, in general, feel better when they try to help others. Think of ways she can help. To whom can you help? How will people benefit from knowing you or your superself?

Think of this exercise as creating a mask. With that mask, you are able to be self-expressive. Use whatever color, medium you want. I'm trying to use minimal supplies, because art supplies can be expensive.

On that note, I'm giving away one (1) a travel side watercolor kit by Koi (Sakura XNCW-24N, 24 Assorted Watercolors Field Sketch Set with Brush –a value of $25 plus shipping and tons of happiness.)



To enter for the kit, please join the secret page on Facebook, and post one of your doodles or art journal pages with a sentence or two on what you have learned so far.

Contest ends Oct. 30. Winner will be announced on Oct. 31. I will mail out the watercolor kit on November 1, 2016.  I now live in New York, so it might take a few days to get to California.

Also, I mentioned gratitude in my video. Watch this video if you want to learn more:
